To make a question, put 'have' or 'has' in front of the subject:
'Yes / No' Questions |
have I missed the bus? |
have you visited London? |
has he worked as a waiter before? |
has she met John? |
has it been cold this week? |
have we arrived too early? |
have they studied English grammar before? |
As you can imagine, for 'wh' questions, we just put the question word before 'have' or 'has':
I'm here to help you understand grammar and speak correct, fluent English.
